Have you had a look at the SuttaCentral translation? Here it is:

A stilt house belonging to one clan: if the robe is kept in the stilt house, one must stay within the stilt house. A stilt house belonging to many clans and having many rooms: one must stay in the room where the robe is kept, or at the main entrance, or not go beyond arm’s reach of either.

And it can found here.

Thanks @Brahmali I did see that (SuttaCentral). In (SuttaCentral) (SuttaCentral) my understanding is “(24bu-np.2.3.7)Still house=māḷo” “(25 ) the multi-storey building (palace)=pāsādo” “(26) A double-storey building=hammiyaṃ”, please clarify if you can.

The idea that pāsāda means “multi-storied building” or “palace” is taken from the commentaries. In the Canonical texts, however, pāsāda seems to be a generic term for a stilt-house. I have personally researched this term and written a short essay, here, to substantiate my translation.

As for hammiya, there is not enough evidence on the suttas/vinaya to ascertain its precise meaning. For this reason I have followed the commentarial suggestion that it is a specific type of pāsāda. Since the allowable zones around the two buildings are the same, I have not made a separate category for hammiya, but included it under pāsāda.

I hope this makes sense.
